According to The Insight Partners’ research, the global embedded computing market was valued at US$ 32,090.1 million in 2018 and is expected to reach US$ 67,285.1 million by 2027 to rise at an annual growth rate of 8.7% from 2019 to 2027. The market expansion is driven by growing automotive, industrial, and telecommunication sectors.

A modern vehicle generally consists of 25–100 electronic control units (ECU). These systems are categorized into real-time body controls and infotainment controls. Embedded computing in modern vehicles is segmented into various domains based on the function to execute. Each ECU comprises processing elements, memory subsystems, power-supply elements, sensors, actuators, etc. which are incorporated in specific combinations according to the applications. The advanced driver assistance system (ADAS)—which includes lane departure warning, emergency braking, and blind-spot detection—is based on embedded computing.
